„A group of scientists have proposed geo-engineering glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica as a way to prevent sea level rise caused by climate change.“
„The bizarre concept is based on the similar cooling effect of volcano eruptions on the atmosphere. However, such geoengineering plans are not without controversy. Some scientists warn artificially cooling Earth to counter global warming could destroy our planet if the process is abruptly stopped.“
„Many scientists believe that global warming caused by carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere is for all practical purposes irreversible. That’s because the current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will keep the engine of global warming running for thousands of years.“
„There was an interesting discussion,[nbsp][nbsp]for which I did a back-of-envelope calculation,[nbsp]on the Carbon Dioxide Removal google group[nbsp](inspired by this paper).[nbsp] I am refining and extending[nbsp] that calculation here.“
„Many object to shielding the planet from the sun’s rays by injecting particles into the atmosphere, but a small band of researchers think the approach is worth studying before it’s too late“
„The Healthy Climate Alliance is building the demand for giving our children a healthy climate and a thriving planet. Our goal is to shift the global conversation about the climate so that we give our children a thriving planet by 2050. We have the technology to achieve this goal. To get there we need leadership and support from policymakers, researchers, religious leaders, the media, and the public.“
„A UK startup has been awarded £1 million to advance its[nbsp]Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technology. Origen Power[nbsp]has been granted the money from the[nbsp]Energy Entrepreneurs Fund, operated by the UK[nbsp]Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The cash will be used to build[nbsp]a 400kW prototype plant at a UK site in partnership with Arcola Energy and lime producer Singleton Birch, the company said.„
„In the emerging field of geoengineering, which envisions large-scale efforts to fight climate change by directly manipulating the natural environment, Field’s privately funded Ice911 project is a small player. [nbsp]Under the Trump administration, these eclectic, messianic and mostly untested projects have been gaining unprecedented momentum.“
„Targeted geoengineering to preserve continental ice sheets deserves serious research and investment, argues an international team of researchers in a Comment published March 14 in the journal Nature. Without intervention, by 2100 most large coastal cities will face sea levels that are more than three feet higher than they are currently.“
